Abstract :
The deterioration of the natural environment has become a significant global issue,
Green Banking is a program where financial institutions prioritize environmental
concerns within their operations and business activities. This research aims to
examine and compare the progress of Indonesian banks and Singaporean banks in
implementing green banking. This research use the ROE annual report, digital
banking record, and green projects that banks participated in from 2019 to 2023. The
analysis revealed that Indonesia and Singapore experienced a loss in 2019, but
subsequently recovered their equity footing in 2020 and continued to do so through
2023. A statement from the banks' annual report indicated that digital banking played
a role in maintaining banks' equity throughout the year, demonstrating the successful
implementation of digital banking in both Indonesia and Singapore. Another study
revealed that, while Indonesia's green investment and loans prioritize supporting small
green businesses, Singapore's approach is to assist larger enterprises that aim to adopt
environmentally friendly practices. This research has revealed that both Indonesia and
Singapore have successfully implemented green banking, and that each country has
developed its own approach to this implementation
